Access to /mnt/floppy
 

Hi,
While using Word perfect 8 & OO.o I am able to work with files on /mnt/win_c2/ but when I try to use files in /mnt/floppy the message reads; youdo not have permission to use this file. (or some thing of that nature.
Is there a way to fix it so I can use both? I have about 7 years of sermons, bulletin articles and research papers on 3 1/2 floppys.

Thanks in advance,
digger

What happens when you write: 'mount /mnt/floppy' ?

/Daniel

It will not allow me to save to the disk.
Either working with an old document or when creating a new one

How does your /etc/fstab look ?

/Daniel

I guess your /etc/fstab should have something like:

/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0

If there is the keyword "ro", you may remove it and try to mount the floppy again. This will remove the read-only attribute.

Hi,
There is no "ro" in the line.
In the permissions tab it is set to "root",
how do I change it to user?
Could that be the problem?

Try editing the file /etc/fstab using a text editor & change the permissions to "owner"
